Well, I went and looked in my book, and there is _no scar_ visible. 
there is a thatch of hair right in the middle of Harry's head. the 
only line that _might_ be a bit of scar (but which i _think_ is hair) 
is slightly diagonal of vertical. JK! How could you've drawn a 
picture of Harry right from your mind with _no scar_!!!???!!
